Found a you a silly joke
A cowboy rode into town & stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals had a habit of picking on strangers. When he finished his drink & went outside he found his horse had been stolen.
He went back into the bar & tossed his gun into the air & niftily caught it above his head before firing a shot into the ceiling. "Which one of you yokels stole my horse" he shouted with surprising forcefulness!
Nobody answered.
"Alright I'm going to have another beer, & if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun in Texas!"
Some of the locals shifted uneasily.
True to his word the cowboy finished his beer & went outside where his horse had been returned to the post. He saddled up & started to ride out of town. The bartender wandered out of the bar & said "say partner before you go... what happened in Texas?"
The cowboy turned back & said "I had to walk home."
Just noticed you've snuck another post in while I wasn't looking.
